What the experts think the Bills should do in free agency
‘”I think the reality with the Bills is that the roster, whatever you want to call the cutoff of starting level players, 22 maybe 25 or 26 for specialists and some of the core special teams players, is one of the best in the NFL,” Yates explained. “I would say that where probably they take the next level is a little more depth at some key spots.”‘

Buffalo Bills extend linebacker Matt Milano, free up cap space
‘Milano signed a four-year extension in 2021, which would have kept him in Buffalo through 2024. In extending Milano, the Bills were able to maintain long-term rights to a key playmaker on the defense, while also taking care of a part of the process to get under the cap. There’s still more work to do on the latter before the start of the league’s new year. The Bills’ financial outlook arguably makes it a long shot for them to be able to keep Edmunds in Buffalo as well.’
Bills Mailbag: How would Aaron Rodgers landing with the Jets reshape the AFC East?
‘It means the Jets’ goal for 2023 should be to make the playoffs, but I would still consider the Bills the favorites to win the division. Rodgers took over as the Packers’ starting quarterback in 2008. Excluding two seasons in which he was injured and played less than than 10 games, his 3,695 passing yards last year were the fewest he’s thrown for in a single season. Additionally, his touchdown passes (26) and interceptions (12) were the second fewest and second most he’s thrown in a season, respectively. The point is, Rodgers, 39, regressed rather significantly last season. He’s not completely washed up, and if he’s healthy in 2023, he’s still better than what the Jets had at quarterback, but he’s not prime-level Rodgers anymore, either.’

‘“One of the best experiences a young man could ask for,” McDermott said. “To me, the advantage William & Mary students have is that this is not a place where things are handed out. You have to earn every inch of what you earn here on campus and when you get into the workplace, even though you don’t have the experience right away, you can lean on the intangibles that you grew and grew and grew when you were on campus.”’
